Chapter 170: Banknotes
In the opinion of Win Zheng.
Now this makes cannons.
It's all about money.
And it's not a small amount.
At the same time, Ying Changsheng on the side was smiling and said to Ying Zheng.
"Father, you don't have to worry, although this cannon needs to consume a lot of copper, but my Daqin's copper is also a lot, and besides, compared to making money, it is the right way to use it to make cannons!"
"As for the money?"
"It's totally possible, change something to make money!"
Ying Changsheng said.
"Something else to make money?"
Win Zheng's face showed a look of surprise.
In the opinion of Win Zheng.
It's all under heaven.
It can be used to mint money.
Roughly, that's copper.
Is it possible not to use copper to make money, but iron to make money?
But think about it.
Win the government, and feel that it is very inappropriate - the fundamental reason why copper coins are produced and recognized by people is.
Copper is an expensive metal.
Today's utensils are made of copper.
In such a situation.
Naturally, people decided on the value of copper coins.
And once, it was made of other metals.
For example, to mint money by money.
Not to mention, iron is prone to rust.
Just one thing.
The cost of iron is too low compared to copper, right?
If you use iron to make money.
Will anyone think that the value of iron money?
For a moment, Ying Zheng frowned, and then muttered.
"Throughout the ages, copper has always been used to mint money, and if it is replaced with iron to mint money, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"
"Father, who told you that the son wanted to use iron to mint money?"
Win Changsheng's face was black, and said embarrassedly to Ying Zheng.
Of course, he didn't plan to mint money out of iron.
After all, this thing of iron money, Win Changsheng knows something about it.
Historically, during the Song Dynasty, iron money was made on a large scale.
However, the effect is not good.
And because of this, the first paper currency in the world was born.
At the moment, Win Changsheng naturally didn't plan to cast iron money in Daqin.
As a traverser.
If he did such a thing, it would be too much of a slump.
I only heard Ying Changsheng explain with a smile.
"Father, the son is not planning to mint iron money."
"Erchen's idea, in fact, is very simple, Erchen is intending to make banknotes!"
"Banknotes?"
Muttering this, an unfamiliar name, Ying Zheng looked surprised.
Very puzzled.
He didn't understand, what exactly is paper money?
At this time, Ying Changsheng was direct, and explained the wonderful use of paper money to Ying Zheng, he explained.
"Father, this banknote, it's quite simple!"
"It's nothing more than fine paper, printed on it, and then let it act as currency of different denominations......"
"What?"
After listening to this.
Win Zheng in front of Win Changsheng inevitably gasped.
He looked at Ying Changsheng in front of him incredulously, and then exclaimed.
"Using paper for money?"
"How is this possible?"
"You kid, aren't you all fools, aren't you?"
"Can this paper be used as a money maker?"
"How can the people of this world recognize it?"
Yes, the idea of winning politics is very simple.
Very simple.
Nothing more than that.
Paper this thing.
How is it possible to use it as a money call?
And Win Changsheng is very confident in this.
After all, the afterlife in which he is located.
It's paper money.
Even, later, no currency was used.
Just use a string of numbers stored in an electronic message.
to act as currency.
As for the role of money, winning longevity is naturally quite clear.
It is also clear that the currency actually.
It's just a general equivalent.
It's nothing more than something that isn't very valuable, and it's artificially given its value.
All this, in the junior high school political textbooks of later generations, was clearly explained, and I only heard the current Win Changsheng and Chao Win Politics, and explained with a smile.
"Father, this banknote, it sounds a little incredible, I think it's a fantasy, but you listen to your son, tell me carefully, it's completely feasible!"
Saying that, Ying Changsheng explained to Ying Zheng again.
"I, the Great Qin Imperial Court, issued an order to issue paper money, so that paper money can circulate among the people, and the price of paper money is consistent with the price of copper money!"
"The people, the traders, must not refuse to use!"
"Of course, considering that the people don't trust this banknote for the time being, I Daqin should also let them slowly believe that this banknote, although it is just a piece of paper, but he, can indeed spend it as money......"
"You kid, isn't this nonsense, paper is paper, let you say that the sky is broken, he is just a piece of paper, how can he be spent as money?"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, with a look of disbelief, and said to Ying Changsheng.
And Win Changsheng is patting his chest and confidently saying to Win Zheng.
"As long as I'm Daqin and don't print paper money indiscriminately, then this thing can really be spent as money!"
Saying that, Ying Changsheng explained to Ying Zheng again.
"The copper coins in the folk circulation, in fact, are very heavy, and the people usually use copper coins when they want to buy a new set of clothes, they have to carry a large bag of copper coins to go out, which is very inconvenient, and it is even more difficult for businessmen to do business!"
"Copper coins, it's quite inconvenient to carry!"
"And the banknote is much lighter, a piece of paper is money, light and easy to carry, stuffed into the pocket, you can take it away!"
"As for how to make the people believe in paper money?"
"It's also very simple, you only need the imperial court to issue a decree!"
"What decree?"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face, and then asked.
"Set up a bank in various places, and then allow the people to exchange paper money from the bank for copper coins!"
"In this way, paper money is nothing more than a substitute for copper money, and the imperial court also allows it to be exchanged with copper money, so that the people are naturally willing to believe in this paper money......"
"Compared with the bulky copper money, once the people trust the paper money, then the common people will inevitably exchange the copper money they usually use into paper money."
"In this way, at that time, paper money will be used on the market, and copper coins will be in the treasury of my Daqin, and my Daqin, the newly mined copper mines, will not necessarily cast copper into copper coins, and print paper money directly!"
"Plain, not to mention saving a lot of man-hour consumption, but also being able to save a lot of copper, father, you say, is this policy clever?"
"Clever, don't be too clever!"
Ying Zheng slapped his thigh and said.
"If this is really the case, my Great Qin Imperial Court will no longer be short of money in the future!"
Hearing Win Zheng, he actually thought of this stubble, and Win Changsheng's face suddenly turned aside.
He stood up in front of him, said solemnly to win the government.
"Father, although this banknote is good, you must not print banknotes indiscriminately!"
yes, of course, you can't send it indiscriminately, otherwise, this thing will be inflationary......
